Two men are facing multiple felony charges after, police say, they assaulted and pushed a woman out of her vehicle, running over her leg.

Andrew Rhodes, 23, of Shippensburg and Zachary Stacey, 24, of Chambersburg were arrested in Greene Township June 14 when police responded to an assault in progress.

The victim told police that she was inside her vehicle at Caledonia Park when her boyfriend, Rhodes, and his friend, Stacey, returned to the vehicle. Rhodes allegedly pulled the victim from the Honda Accord, striking her in the face and pulling her hair in an attempt to have sex with her, according to documents.

When the victim attempted to re-enter the car, police say, Rhodes told Stacey to push her out. With the vehicle moving forward, the fallen victim's leg was run over.

The victim was treated at Chambersburg Hospital for multiple leg injuries and a concussion.
